Nineteenth Century - Belgium had a colony in Africa: the belgian Congo. The Belgian leadership treated the native people of the Congo in an extremely brutal manner, most people were essentially slaves. Some workers were mutilated if they did not meet certain quotas, or if they "misbehaved".
Twentieth Century - France and Britain came to dominate several areas in the Middle East after the Ottoman Empire collapsed. The French Mandate in particular, created the countries of Syria and the Lebanon.

Explanation: The arrival of the Genoese navigator in America provides natives of the New Continent or contact with a plethora of microorganisms that were not known to them. The most striking example was a variable, which was nonexistent on the American continent and was brought with Europeans. The result was the extermination of the American population through disease rather than wars. Ignorance of the causes of diseases caused by indigenous people does not isolate patients, thus avoiding the contagion of other inhabitants of a village. Since they did not know that microorganisms were also transmitted by air, when a village was infected, a disease spread, leading some of the inhabitants to seek refuge in another village, spreading as diseases and as deaths.
Progressivism refers to a political philosophy that became particularly popular during the early years of the 20th century. During these years, the middle class and the working class began demanding more rights and protection. People became concerned with the power and the success of large factories and corporations, and with the way they treated their workers.
There are a lot of vestiges left from this time period. Nowadays, we often take for granted the fact that children are protected from dangerous labor or that workers have the right to weekends and a fair wage. We also enjoy a higher participation of women outside of the workplace. Some of the institutions and laws that have roots in this era is the right to health care, minimum wage, child labor laws and public education. These institutions have had a great power because they have completely transformed the way we live and benefitted many generations of Americans.
